Efficient Roof Shapes through Wind Flow and Indoor Temperature, Case Studies: Flat Roofs and Domed Roofs

Hydroponics Roofs for Saving Energy of Green Schools in the Cold and Dry climate of Iran: A Comparative Study between Two Broad and Modular Hydroponic Green Roofs

Green schools are a new type of school, in which the use of renewable energy is less than that of conventional schools. In this regard, nowadays, adding green layers to the roof of schools, in addition to increasing the Students' communication with nature, energy saving has improved in these spaces. However, to improve energy saving yield, the priority of these types of roofs in different clima...

Thermal Behavior of Domed Roofs, Case Study: Historical Dome-Shaped Roofs of Isfahan

Effect of Flexural and Membrane Stiffness on the Analysis of Floating Roofs

With the aim of extending the use of integrated variational principles on fluid and deckplate to the large deflection analysis of floating roofs, this paper investigates the significance of theflexural and membrane components in the formulations of the deck plate. Applying integratedvariational principles on deck plate and fluid facilitate the treatment of the compatibility ofdeformation betwee...

An integrated method to valuate the function of green roofs in absorbing air pollutants; Case study: Tehran

Tehran is the capital city of Iran and its inhabitants are suffering from air pollution.Green roofs can be one of the choices to deal with this problem. In this paper, ability ofgreen roofs in absorbing four air pollutants (PM10, SO2, NO2, and CO2) in Tehran wasvaluated. First, the potential of 1 m2 of a hypothetical green roof in Tehran in absorbingPM10 and SO2 during 1 year was estimated usin...
